The fruits of my panic buying are coming in. I just got a crapload of cables, enough to recable two bikes completely (assuming they're not both Campy or Shimano), I can replace chains on all but the Canyon and that one's in the mail, and soon I'll have enough spare tires for 4 out of 5 bikes.

And just like that, I find another Schwinn Circuit with Sante kit, 90 miles away, for $350 less. In ROUGH shape. It would be quite a project.

It's pink. It's rusty. It appears to be complete.
Did I mention it's pink?

Intervals looks at efforts somewhere around 3 minutes and longer. I was aiming for 400w for 3min but ended up doing 3min 20sec at 350w which put me at an eFTP of 268w. Last fall, 3min10sec at 373w put me at 280w. Looking at it now, it was on the same hill, and I had the same dip, (but I wasn't actually targeting the effort at the time).

I had a pink Schwinn Prelude. My first "nice" bike. I never could get used to it, and sold it, only to find a midnight mauve one, here in Yucatan, a few months later. I used to ride 58cm and COULD NOT ride a 56. I now ride 60cm but can manage a 58

Note:
1. Anyone over 55 in Georgia can get a vaccine starting Monday. I might be over 55.
2. A day after my ride i am experiencing the same level of discomfort. Not much progress. I might ride on Sunday and see what happens. Maybe on Monday, the Doc can give me something to lessen the nerve pain while I heal (and ride).
Resume normal activities.

Please don’t lump me in the group that litters. I may do a lot of things, but that is not one of them.

I'm leaning against it. Lot of rust, etc. And even if it's cheaper, it's STILL too small! I find it hard to believe they didn't make these things in 23". Funny how 22" sounds so much closer to 23" than 56cm to 58cm.

I came in 4th in the Crit on Zwift, out of 13 or more starters, but ended up second out of 2. Yeah, the guy I beat last week beat me by 0.505 seconds. In the middle of the race, it seemed like 5 riders in our lead group of 8 got flagged, and I assume they were all DQ'd.

Zero motivation to do much needed long ride on this chilly morning, which would have seemed enticingly warm a week ago. Maybe go food shopping first.

It got cold here too. The gang all decided for a late start at 9:30. I am on call and could only get coverage for 2 hours so I am guessing I will do half the ride with the group and the other half piecemeal/solo with frequent stops to put out fires. At least it's bright and sunny out.

I suffer that way, too. In the winter, it's like, "Hey! It's 25°, overcast, and 20 mph winds. Let's ride!" Now after some 60s, it's, "Crap! Only 45°! Screw that. Where's the remote control?"
